PUBLIC ADVISORYThe Winnipeg Police Service has received several reports over the
past week of phone calls being made by persons claiming to be a police
officer or a government official. The caller demands the victim to pay
money to prevent them or a family member from being arrested. The WPS
advises that these calls are not legitimate and would like your assistance in
identifying the persons making these phone calls.

If you do receive such a phone call, please make note of the
incoming phone number and details of the conversation. At the
conclusion of the call activate the call trace feature on your land line (*57) and then contact police at 204-986-6222.
